This blog began as "The Vegan Investigation" which ran from 02/14-03/14/2011 and my fitness blog. Now it continues as my personal blog for fitness, nutrition and everyday life. I'm never afraid to push limits mentally or physically - some think I'm crazy, others think I'll push myself too hard - but either way, I'll never know my true limits until I push myself past them....Because people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do

Vegan Day 4 - I kick ass!

So today was another fabulous day! Work was a little bit of a struggle due to the food bonanza (mentioned in the blog I posted earlier today) - but I did great! I limited myself to a salad with Italian dressing and some watermelon slices!

The woman who was running the cafe offered to make me something other than salad, so I told her that I am not eating meat or dairy - and she offered to make me a grilled cheese. It took a lot of self restraint to ask if cheese was no longer considered a dairy product in my most smart ass tone of voice :-)

When I got home, I made myself an amazing dinner of Stir Fry veggies & Saifun Noodles with Sriracha sauce - it was killer!

Prepare for some food porn!

It was a fabulous dinner!! The only downside is that it was a little heavier than my usual dinners before a workout - so it sat like a brick in my tummy through my first Zumba class tonight...but I felt better after getting some movement in!

Been doing great on my calorie counts all week (between 1300-1400 cals a day) and tracking everything. I'm going to hop on the scale tomorrow and see if there's any changes and depending on how I'm feeling I'll either do measurements tomorrow morning or on Saturday when I take my next progress pictures.

For now, here's the Song of the Day and now I'm off to bed! Happy Thursday everyone! I hope that you all have an awesome Friday tomorrow!
